While the matzah was probably perfectly Kosher for Passover, in a factory environment the matzos aren’t acceptable until the process is running perfectly. They were having “thickness problems” at the beginning of the line, and the matzos weren’t coming out uniformly.

Those rejects were destined to become very expensive chicken-feed.

Hey Jonathan,

Nice photos, I’m also curious why the matza in the last photo was rejected?

Any idea why the matza you held up in the last photo was rejected?

Thanks for the pics. Working as a mashgiach in hotels you get a different feel for food preparations and the latest technology in kitchen appliances.

Shmura translates as “guarded”. The distinguishing quality of Shmura Matzah is the flour used. Where normal matzah flour is guaranteed to have not come into contact with water from the time it was milled, shmura flour is “guarded” from water from the time it is harvested.

I thought the whole point of shmura matzos was that they were hand made. An impressive process and great photos nonetheless.
